Curriculum Vitae

Anchor 1
Professional ​
info​​

Throughout university I have taken modules in Media Business, Media Law and Public Relations all of which I believe are invaluable skills. I have had the opportunity throughout independent work experience and through my degree to be involved in the many different areas of the journalism and business industries seeing the changes they have experienced over recent years with the wide use of citizen journalism and increase in societal use of social media. I am an enthusiastic, open and driven individual with a willingness to accept a challenge and improve on the skills I already have in order to be truly successful.
